BTC is getting ridiculously slow. Now I have 5 transactions unconfirmed, one of them for more than 20 hours. I have raised the fees to 200 satoshi and still nothing. According to https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ 200 satoshi should confirm pretty fast. What should be used for fees now?

Honest answer, it depends. Try doubling the reward, see if it goes through. I know there are sites where you can ask miners to specifically include transactions, but they are probably clogged.

Fees are VARIABLE.Use a true wallet, one that it calculates the real fees ... when you emit. There's no "real" fee. Miners don't actually need fees yet - their revenues would be extremely high with the block reward anyway. Fees and rising prices are what's causing a spiralling and pointlessly high amount of miners. Fees should only be necessary for miners to treat your transaction as priority, not for them to accept your transaction at all. That can change when the block reward decreases enough relative to the price, but right now fees are just a market.

Miners do need fees because of spam transactions. When fees were zero too many twinks were sending out spam transactions on the net that blew out mempool and hogged all the space. Thus miners don't take zero fee transactions these days and the transactions there rot on the chain. There should be a garbage collector running on those but there isn't. So when a dirt-ton of people want to do transactions, the highest fee wins. As for too many miners I agree but that will drop as the rewards get cut unless the price continues to be batty.

Good morning Bitcoinland. I see the battle for $1600 rages on... currently $1607USD (Bitcoinaverage). It's in day 5 now. Consolidation's fine and all but I think we've already made the point that we're not in a bubble. Enough's enough. It's time to move on up again. We first need to hit parity with the 400oz gold bars ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) I'd be happy with parity with kilograms of gold. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

LOL I thought I was being conservative. I was happy with a mere $40k per coin. AlexGR was looking for almost half a million bucks per coin. I guess he's one of those people who thinks 21 coins will make you rich some day. I figure you'll need a couple of hundred. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
